Gobbled Up Sprouts

Conveys Ruth C. of Glendale Heights, Illinois, “I shake steamed brussels sprouts in a mixture of 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and pepper to taste. Then I dunk them in beaten egg, then back into the flour mixture. After refrigerating them for about an hour, I fry them in oil until golden. My family doesn’t normally care for brussels sprouts, but they enjoy them prepared this way.”

Take a break from ordinary steamed brussels sprouts by combining them with raisins and a slightly tart dressing. Thinly slicing the sprouts makes them appeal to people who normally don't like the texture.—Michaela Rosenthal, Woodland Hills, California

My relatives claim to hate Brussels sprouts, which I took as a challenge to come up with a recipe they'd love. When I served this at my Christmas buffet, there wasn't a sprout left in the bowl!
